More about this game
Your goal is to open the Sun Gate by weighting the sun plate and connecting the crystal light. You move tile by tile, pushing a stone block onto a pressure plate and rotating a mirror to direct a beam. As you progress, the temple adds crumbling tiles that collapse after you step on them and rotating ancient lasers. A run ends when you reach the glowing gate after unlocking both seals, or if you get hit by a hazard and return to the entrance.
Tips
- Crumbling tiles collapse 850 milliseconds after you step on them. Keep moving across cracked floors to avoid falling back to the entrance.
- Ancient lasers rotate every 1700 milliseconds. Watch their turning beam closely and only cross the tiles when the path is completely clear of the hazard.
- If you get stuck, click the Show Hint button to reveal a state-aware glowing trail leading directly to your next objective.
Questions
What are the mimic chests?
Every 5 levels, you might encounter a breathing chest. Pressing Space nearby pulls you into a dangerous Mimic Vault with more hazards, but offers extra coin caches and a rare relic if you escape.
How do I change the environment?
Click the gear icon in the top corner to open the theme menu. You can switch between Overgrown Jungle, Glowing Crystal, Ancient Desert, and Frozen Sanctuary at any time.
What do relics do?
Collecting optional relics improves your star rating and coin reward at the end of the level. They are permanently saved to your collection as you awaken the temple.
